Photo: @D. Paul Graham, “Uphill to T1”, COTA, Austin Texas, 2024 “Monday 5 Things”™ ….. Queries From Time …… I really enjoyed where I spent time this past week. Time with the woman I love. Time with family. Time with clients that are making a difference with what they do. Time in the airport lounge. Time in the air. Time on track. Time working with some really talented people who are exceptionally good at what they do. Time on corners with myself. Time during race rain delays. Time to think. Time to query. Time spent finishing this week’s M5T and the questions I asked myself during these ..read more

To-Do …… I had a very different M5T planned for today but after spending time Sunday with a friend who is very ill, I changed course for this week’s post. So, here I am, late on a Sunday evening, re-writing M5T as I contemplate the fragility, the complexity, the vulnerability of life. Contending with the mystery of God’s timing and reasons.  Wrestling with the unknown of facing death when there are things you still want to do, and people that you desperately want to have time to share more moments ..read more

Arched by a canopy of massive oak trees, the long curvy driveway left no choice but to slow down and take in the splendor and history of the property. We could almost hear the names of Oglethorpe, Horton, DuBignon, Morgan, Aldridge, Crane, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Goodyear, and Pulitzer being whispered by the wind through the trees as it stirred the backlite Spanish moss in the late-day sun. Opened in 1888, its history includes the first condominium built in the US, the secret for ..read more

Photo © D. Paul Graham, “Power of the Cross”, Lisbon, circa 2017 “Monday 5 Things”™ ….. You Said ….. The bible is an amazing book. Perhaps even more amazing are the over 3,000 promises that have been made about and by Jesus Christ that are found in the bible. On this Easter Monday morning, M5T considers some of those promises that Jesus made. 1. Foretold Christ prophesied his victory over death because of His resurrection. In Mark 9:31, Christ said to his disciples, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him and after three days he will rise.” On this Ea ..read more

Photo © D. Paul Graham, “Elton?”, Hilton Head Island Concours 2023 “Monday 5 Things”™ ….. Living Wildly ….. It was a week of original opportunities, refreshed realizations, fostered fastidiousness, expressed emotions, kindled kindness, choices of compassion, and reflection.  Realigned reflection. The kind of reflection that is raw, honest, goes deep, and leaves you no other choice than to slow down and stop. To just think. And through all the deliberations, I began to picture what living an uninhibited, unapologetic wild-life would look like. And M5T found its way to another Monday. 1. Wi ..read more
